Flexible Options for UT Austin Credit

University Extension provides a range of exceptional educational opportunities to individuals seeking college credit from
The University of Texas at Austin. We offer flexible course options and formats and work with our academic partners in the
campus colleges to develop special programs and courses.

Courses offered by University Extension do not require UT admission, but are UT courses taught on campus, in UT Austin
classrooms, and online to students ready for college courses. Each course has met the approval of UT Austin academic departments,
and each course is taught by UT or UT-approved instructors. Courses offered by University Extension are transferable and
appear on an official university transcript.

Please note that University Extension provides individuals with the opportunity to earn college credit, but does not grant degrees.

offered in the regular UT Austin academic curriculum. Self-paced online courses are taught by instructors approved by UT Austin academic departments
and may be taken for a letter grade, on a credit / no credit basis, for professional development, or for personal enrichment.
